* Generate the list of contributors from gitGravatar Mike Burns2014-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of requiring contributors to update rcm(7), pull the list of contributors from the git log instead. The `rcm.7` file has been moved to `rcm.7.mustache`. The `autogen.sh` command will write `rcm.7` using autocontrib, a quick script included in this commit. This commit adds a `.mailmap` file, used by git-shortlog(1) to produce correct and useful names and email addresses. An initial `.mailmap` has been added to correct some existing email addresses and duplications. `.mailmap` is documented in [Documentation/mailmap.txt][mailmap] for git. This adds a maintainer dependency on Ruby and the mustache gem. The autocontrib program is spiked out in Ruby due to my familarity with the language, but the choice of templating language (mustache) allows flexibility for switching languages later. This is a dependency requirement only for people who run `autogen.sh` -- maintainers. This adds a maintainer dependency on git. Again, this is only for maintainers, and many (all?) of them need git to get rcm's source anyway. Thanks to Patrick Brisbin and George Brocklehurst for the review.

* Start bringing in the Makefile.am from gitshGravatar Mike Burns2014-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | It introduces the `Makefile.am` from gitsh, and abstracts it a bit. This `Makefile.am`, or most of it, could be dropped into gitsh again. How to use it is documented in `DEVELOPERS.md`. The whole release process is more consistent and simple: `make release` to build a tarball, Homebrew, Arch, Debian, HTML (from manpages), and tag it, pushed to the various repos, and with cleanup. The `release` target is composed of smaller targets that stack well.
* Add a release targetGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-01
The `make release` command will build the Debian package, push the version to a git tag on GitHub, and upload the docs to GitHub pages. This also adds a `deb` target, along with `build-docs`, `upload-docs`, `build-tag`, and `push-tag`. In addition, introduce a `NEWS.md` file. Both `rcm.sh.in` and `NEWS.md.in` will act as input files. This is to abstract over the version number.
